When someone has a very urgent response, I think it just means that it's triggering something in them that they may not necessarily want to think or talk about - which I see as a positive thing.
Let's grease the wheel over tea, let's discuss things in confidence. Let's be outspoken, let's be ridiculous, let's solve the world's problems.
I love songs that are very autobiographical.
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.
I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.
I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.
What an amazing and sacred place [Israel] to end the tour
The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.
What makes me feel alive is community, connectedness. Certainly family, parenting, relationships, friendship. All the way into colleague relationships and relationship with spirit, relationship with one's own self and inner child, and animals, earth, planet. Fostering and nurturing and really focusing on connection - connection in relationship with other and my own self and God. When I don't feel connected in all those three areas, life is not very good.
Unless I really loved it and felt really passionate about it, I would just kind of abort the song and start a new one.
The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.
My greatest environments in which I can grow, or grow up, is in personal romantic relationships with a man.
I can be in the worst PMS, Mercury in retrograde, most awful circumstance - and then if my girlfriends and I are giggling about it, everything's okay.
I'll be writing records until I'm dead, whether people like it or not!
